      Does it love you?
      Actually I only started collecting Milsurps 3 years ago. I think I might own about 24...They're cheaper than guns that will most likely never get the opportunity to kill somebody...

      I belong to the group that uses firearms, and knows which bathroom to use.

      Tis better to have Trolled & lost, Than to never have Trolled, at all.

        They are pretty cool, aren't they

        Still one of the last things I would ever sell if I needed the money. I bought another one for my son to give to him when he turns 18 (he's only got 14 more years to go). I started to clean it and then figured that it's part of the right of passage to clean all the cosmo out of it.

          Darn cool for sure! This thing pounds rounds down range like no other. I really dig it. I also shot my m1 Carbine today and a new to me k98. All shot like a dream! Temps where not to bad and not to crowded at the range either. Thank goodness I have the easy up to keep the sun off us. If you guys know the range and you hear the ping of the garand come and say hi!

                  why wait? you should tell him that when he turns 18 you will transfer it to him. show him how to clean it and have him get some range time! why have him wait 4 ywars to shoot a beauty of a rifle?

                    Every shooter should have at least one IMHO.

                          Is that En Bloc belt made for Navy uniforms? ;-)

                            It is the camera flash that made it look white. It is actually khaki.
